The battles in the Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad area remain the hottest on the entire front.
This was reported by Danylo Borysenko, intelligence chief of the Rubizh Brigade’s anti-aircraft artillery unit, who spoke with 24 Kanal.
“Over the last 24 hours, we counted 49 assault attempts in this sector — with armor and without it,” Borysenko said.
The enemy lost three armored combat vehicles and over 10 other pieces of equipment. Ukrainian troops also destroyed 11 drones of various types and nearly 200 enemy soldiers.
“Our units are trying to operate as one team and hold the line, even though it’s extremely tough. Infantry, anti-air crews, tankers, and artillery are all on the job. Everyone’s running on little sleep, but we’re giving it our all. This is our front and our country,” he said.
Recently, the occupiers tried to storm Hryshyne, just outside Pokrovsk. Thanks to Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance, the movement of enemy vehicles was spotted, letting forces strike back.
The enemy is also deploying guided bombs. Over the past day, 20 guided bombs struck Myrnohrad, but Ukrainian forces successfully repelled the attacks.
Borysenko said that the Russians frequently send small infantry teams, attempting to infiltrate between Ukrainian positions. They also bring in vehicles to back up their assaults.
“Our troops are holding the line on every front. Sometimes it feels like the day isn’t long enough to get everything done,” the commander stressed.
